Waveshrder:

You were the test pilot on the hub and big apples-- I've been following this thread for a while, and that both worked for you convinced me to try them.

I'll keep riding this weekend and give everybody a more full report, including after I pump up the Big Apples a bit.

If I do decide to forego the Big Apples, I think I'll put them on my girlfriend's (soon to be purchased) Downtube. (Your review was also a big factor there too!)

Also, I think I'll pick up a pair of Power Straps.

Cheers,
Ari
